There's also a saying-necessity is the mother of all invention.
When iOS blocked flash, there wasn't a ready alternative available. HTML 5 was still in its infancy, and the App Store didn't yet exist. But there was a desire to reach out to this consumers using iOS devices, and so developers changed the way they present their media. Native apps were created, and they offered a better user experience because they were optimised for touch and direct input. HTML5 begin to replace flash. And in a worst case scenario, you had third party browsers which could load flash.
What I see Apple doing is showing the way with their own Apple-branded Bluetooth headphones. They may also open up the technology to other manufacturers. We will see more Bluetooth headphones being offered in the market, all these options will help to push prices down and quality up, and all this would not be possible if consumers didn't have a compelling reason to move away from wired headphones.
Sometimes, you cannot have a new world order without first doing away with the current one.
Yeah you are sad.
Enjoy your flaming backside. Recommend trying a little Noxzema.
Keep drinking that Kool-Aid.
Seems like you are having tough time controlling the negatives on this forum but i gonna tell you this as long as apple will keep disappointing their loyal customers it's gonna rise
Looks like a guy to me - http://www.cultofmac.com/273923/min...l&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer
Neither did Apple invent most things. It didn't stop Apple fanboys of saying Samsung copied Apple.
Ummmmm.....
Well, it would not have stereo in landscape if the speakers were on the same side.... however (from the article):
"Rather than putting a second speaker at the bottom in place of the headphone jack, Apple is said to be upgrading the earpiece receiver at the top of the device to become a full speaker. The change would provide enough separation to allow for stereo sound when the device is held in landscape orientation".
Always best to read the article you're commenting on! =P
Yet shops still sell a bucket load of wired headphones compared to wireless ones...
You mustn't have seen many ports. Over time the constant pressure in all directions wiggling the lighting connector as you walk is going to affect the fit. It has happened to me and a few people I know just from using the phone while it is charging.
I think the lighting port is far better than micro-USB bit it is far from durable. Headphones will destroy it.
Unless you have something other than regular ears, everything you hear is analog. Guitars used in studios are analog. What you said makes no sense at all and shows a total and complete ignorance in this topic.
Negatives are everywhere Sunny. I call a spade a spade when I see it. Especially if someone is blatantly misquoted or wrong.
And not every Apple loyalist is disappointed. I consider myself positive and looking forward to Apple's iPhone 7. It all depends on what you consider dissapointed.
No disrespect to you, but your one of the most negative Forum members bashing the iPhone 7 for months now. Any one reading your previous posts will see this. It's clear your angry at Apple, which is your prerogative, but even on this thread, your Apple bashing.
True. I hope in a couple years better listening options will be available, then I will revisit my phone choices and decide what makes sense. Personally I'm expecting the iPhone 7 to be the first Bluetooth 5 device, if so this should bring some needed improvements.
It takes a real person to admit this. Good for you for being positive, without having to tear someone else down and admitting your thoughts.
I'm just sayin', BT audio sucks. If someone wants wireless audio on an iPhone they must sacrifice audio quality. BT 5 will improve broadcasting bandwidth but I think that's aimed at advertising so stores can firehose spam your iPhone when you walk by.
Apple could introduce a proprietary compression format for BT audio, but I still don't see how that obviates the need for an audio jack. No wireless headphones match the audio quality of wired, not even when the transmitter is in the home and has no weight or power limitations. If Sennheiser can't do it on dedicated headphones then it's doubtful Apple will crack that nut for a device with severe limitations on size and power usage.
And why is there a "need" now that didn't exist before?
This doesn't make any sense. Airplay is based on a number of standard IETF protocols that are designed to run on top of IP (e.g. audio is streamed using RTP/RTSP). Bluetooth earbuds do not have IP stacks. What is there to take inspiration from that isn't already possible with Bluetooth profiles today? Airplay does not in any way address the problem of very high power efficiency like BT does, since it was not designed for that.
The port is sturdy, it's Apple's cables that are flimsy as ****.
Excellent point. The reason being is because Macrumors laid out ALL the positive upgrades internally and externally that has drawn everyone's focus off of the negativity surrounding the 3.5 Jack, camera bump and antenna lines. It's amazing what a little positivity can change the tune in a thread.
It's nice to read positive posts for once versus the typical hatred.
It will be 4.2. 5.0 requires a new Chip that will not be ready for volume shipping until early 2017. All the BlueTooth worshippers in here will need to wait for the Apple Phone in 2017.
I'm on a two year upgrade cycle and I don't think I'll be upgrading from my 6, which also means my phone doesn't get handed down to family members...
Huh? "Invoking" Airplay is nothing like using Bluetooth A2DP. And Apple hasn't "rolled" any new streaming protocol into Bluetooth. They are simply using the existing standardized profiles.
Why? The AAC that they are using is just as good.
Remember when there was only one model, and two colors to choose from? Yeah, so do I. Good times.
I don't think there have been many serious people with a 6, 6+ that were really going to wait until 2017. The 7 is a very nice upgrade for current 6 and 6+ users. If you use a 6s it's not so compelling, IMO. Although the A10 does appear to be a screamer. Personally, I was not expecting such a high clock speed.
Earpiece as a second speaker? Suddenly all of the dual-speaker rumors actually make sense.
On a related note, I'M REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THAT.
